How to connect to MS Access on a 64-bit environment

[#1]

We are running on a 64-bit environment and would like to connect to an MS Access database. Can this be done and how?

Yes, should not be a problem. Just use the appropriate OLEDB-Connection.

A 64bit driver is available here, you don't have to install MSAccess itself:

This worked great. Thanks! The only additional step I needed to take was to uninstall any 32-bit applications and reinstall them after the driver was installed.
